Book Lovers – Pay Attention!

by Ryan M. Healy · 6 comments

I just got done reading three marketing newsletters.
I used to be good about tearing open the envelope whenever a newsletter arrived and reading it right then and there. These days, I’m more prone to save up two or three and then “batch” them by reading them one right after the other.
Anyway, whether it’s newsletters, blogs, [...]

I mailed all the books today.
Here are some numbers I thought you might find interesting.
Total sales: 85 (34 within the U.S. and 51 international)
Total cost of postage: $583.60
Total conversion rate: 22%
That number comes from this calculation: 85 sales / 385 unique visitors to my blog during the promotion = 22% conversion rate.

[Note: This Offer Is Now Closed. Thanks!]
So my birthday is this Thursday, May 8. I’m a bit secretive about my age, although I haven’t gone out of my way to hide it. (Some folks know how old I am, but they almost never guess right the first time.)
Ever since about age 16, birthdays haven’t really [...]

12 Books That Changed My Life

by Ryan M. Healy · 30 comments

in Books

I love to read.
And I love to track every book I read.
In fact, I began logging every book I finished starting in the 8th grade, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Every January, I close out the prior year, print my log, hole-punch it, and put it in my book log binder.

in Books

Yesterday, I got a call from Lila Rajiva, the co-author (with Bill Bonner) of Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets. Apparently, one of the guys who’d commented on one of my previous posts had said some inaccurate things–so I happily agreed to remove his comment.
Maybe I’m just a book junkie, but I really enjoy getting to meet [...]
